Flight compensation Aer Lingus:

Claim and compensation for flight Aer Lingus Dublin - Madrid

Your claim for compensation for the Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Madrid deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between Dublin and Madrid (1 454 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Aer Lingus.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

This is not a commercial gesture from Aer Lingus, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Aer Lingus Dublin - Madrid is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Dublin and Madrid entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Aer Lingus to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Madrid.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Dublin airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Aer Lingus (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
